The greatest part about this video is that a "Will Ferrell" comment isn't the most-thumbed up. Yes the drumming is great and Chad Smith is amazing, but that's such a relief :).
@ericneedsanap agreed right now hawkins and Chad are among he best drummers currently playing in a band(like recording and touring) i am seeing the foo fighters in a few days cant wait !!
I remember seeing Foo Fighters open for the Chili Peppers back in 2001. I thought... "ya know, that Taylor Hawkins isn't that bad of a drummer." And then Chad Smith came out and played. And I forgot everything that had happened before.
For all you rock stars out here, *cough* Terry Bozzio *cough*, you don't need a big drum kit to be able to play. Chad is able to more around more freely around the drums and groove easier than with a large kit. (P.S.- I love Terry Bozzio and only have the utmost respect for him).
just a single pedal and one tom in front (i don't know the name) yet his sound surpassed 3 people playing simultaneously... Chad is fuckin awesome.. He's the drummer of this era..
Simply fuckin' awesome!!!........just love watching him play, he has so much feel. Not like those machine gun double bass bullshit solos....this is drumming at it's finest
@coutafhc What about Neal Peart? Mike Portnoy? Chad Stubblefield? John Bonham? Keith Moon? Stewart Copeland? Mitch Mitchell? Alex Van Halen? Dave Grohl? Steven Alder? Taylor Hawkins? Dave Abruzesse? Jack Irons? Phil Rudd? just to name a few.
who cares if chad smith isnt as technical as some other people, he can groove like a mofo and he's good as hell so what if he isn't the best, if people would just take things for the way they are and not judge then your perception would increase.
@shakakamooroar see, he plays with those pedals and hes amazing, and you play with them, and they suck, Conclusion - learn to play drums and stop bitching about such things
@TheStailfish Well i realize now he has a diffrent pedal, its a p200 or somthing like that which are almost identicle to the ones i have, which are p112 and its way to springy, you cant do heel toe, and thats not just me read reveiws on it. so lets forget i even commented on it...
@DRAG0NSIN7 well idk ive had the pedals for 2 years and on my other pedals i can do heel toe but not the bad ones and they are double pedals, but the weird thing is i can rabit foot it but i can swivle or heel toe on it. so idk lol
@shakakamooroar yeah maybe it might be too springy or whatever but in the end it comes to the person playing the drums, not to the pedals, or drumsticks . well you get my point. i've seen people play on such shit gear and they were better than me on my better gear, so... yeah i suck as well as you =)
@TheStailfish well i think we both have forgotten that were comparing our selfs and each other to chad smith, who has been playing for like 30 years, idk about you but ive only been playing for 8 years, its like comparing travis barker to neil peart.....
I dont think either of us suck, hes just at a higher level.......
@christianconefery no i wasnt bagging on any of the drummers or anything, im just saying john bonham should be either on the top or very close to the top of everyone's list of best drummers
@Derjumba2forever either Black Beauty or his signature.....his signature may have not been out yet. but his signature is a replication of the black beauty.
Someone compared this guy to Neil Peart? Sorry, but this guy looks like an intoxicated 16 year old with ADD. Lots of beat, yes, but no groove or melody at all! Watch Neil and you'll see what I mean.
chad smith ability is same with travis barker
